With a carefully-designed experiment and a handful of tin atoms, University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s physicists have found a long-sought form of superconductivity, taking one more step toward creating custom quantum materials.

The devices represent a key step toward practical quantum sensing, with applications in biomedical sensing, materials characterization, and more.

Analysis of a first-of-its-kind experiment reveals missing pieces in the decades-old theory of superconductivity.

Researchers report first optical initialization and detection of nuclear spin states in a europium-based molecular crystal

New light source could enable chip-scale gas sensing tools

Published recently in Science, it is the first experimental observation of a half-Möbius electronic topology in a single molecule. To the scientists’ knowledge, a molecule with such topology has never before been synthesized, observed, or even formally predicted. Understanding this molecule’s behavior at the electronic structure level required something equally fundamental: a high fidelity quantum computing simulation. The discovery advances science on two fronts. For chemist
